“In the recognition of beauty, the eye takes the most delight in color.”

When experimental becomes just mental, it is time to take a few steps back, return to the solid ground, collect the confidence and try again. To achieve happiness requires work, but it is possible. Maybe more difficult is to recognize it...

Colour photos suit the times when Ivy (my Mum) briefly recognises me. It may last seconds, maybe two minutes then its gone. She goes back into another World, her private World.

I am so honoured to be presented with a certificate of recognition from sorority Delta Theta Nu. This means so much to me!

 

I was so shocked and very blown away to be told "You are seen". It brought tears to my eyes as life is not easy. Yet we still make the best of every situation and push through trying our best to sprinkle positivity. Thank you once again to the ladies of DTN! I appreciate you all so much ♥

Sitting on the window-sill and enjoying the low afternoon sun. Illuminated and in sharp focus is the "good" eye, the one I use for photography. The other one plays second fiddle. However, none of them was really involved in taking this self-portrait. It was the artificial eye of the camera in connection with a clever algorithm (automatic eye recognition) that kicked in when I pressed the shutter release (via a long cable). This is one of the situations where camera technology enables me to do things with ease that, if done manually, would have been quite difficult to achieve.

Perhaps I am beginning to understand that white silence is violence.

 

Australia's history is problematic for 232 years, and counting. Though we can be proud of the 59,768 years before that; before colonization.

I was appalled as a child when I learnt in 1966 that we had not previously counted our First Nations People in our population census. I was just a kid and it seemed simple to me: you count all the people and you come up with a number for the total population. Why weren't we counting all the people?

 

So the years passed and I grew up and my learning became more sophisticated and I was confronted with the legal concept of terra nullius. A latin term meaning "land that is legally deemed to be unoccupied or uninhabited". So that is how Australia is occupied: with no recognition of any indigenous inhabitants. WTF! This kid is increasingly uncomfortable with this history.

 

I am ashamed today that my country continues to allow a disproportionate rate of black deaths in custody.

 

We need to change. I look forward to sacrifices to my white privilege in order to achieve this.

Recent research in Cambridge has shown that sheep can recognise human faces when encouraged by a wee treat, such as Baa-rack Obama’s and Emma Watson’s. Our neighbours may of recognized me, but they were not used to me jumping into their space in order to shoot the setting sun.

“Everyone needs recognition for his accomplishments, but few people make the need known quite as clearly as the little boy who said to his father: "Let's play darts”

Glaub nicht dais ich werbe.

Engel, und wurb uch duch aych! Du kommst nicht. Denn mein

Anruf ist immer voll Hinweg; wider so starke

Stromung kannstdu nicht schreiten. Wie ein gestreckter

Arm ist mein Rufen. Und seine zum Greifen

oben offene Hand bleibt vordir

offen, wie Abwehr und Warnung.

Unfislicher, weitauf.

This is a National Site of Recognition for Thalidomode Victims and Their Families. It lists a timeline of how the tragedy unfolded. In 2020 the Australian Government acknowledged the victims and provides lifetime support to the survivors ( how many decades later!)

Could it be / that with loss of recognition / of structure and function / the sense of beauty grows? / or not?

We are not people experiencing spirituality, but souls experiencing humanity - Father Stuart Long

I went to see my Brother today.

 

He later admitted that he didn't recognise me when he answered the door. I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing...

Seen through the workings of the Erie steam shovel, Kerr Stuart 0-4-0 saddle tank 'Stanhope', works number 2395 built in 1917, visiting Threlkeld Quarry in Cumbria from the Apedale Valley Light Railway, on 24th July 2015. A narrow gauge locomotive with a remarkable history, surviving against all odds.

A certificate of achievement in calligraphy waiting to be awarded.

The Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall is a 3/5 scale replica of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC. It stands six feet tall at the center and covers almost 300 feet from end to end. 58,195 names of fallen servicemen and women are inscribed on it.

 

This Traveling Memorial stands as a reminder of the great sacrifices made during the Vietnam War. It was made for the purpose of helping heal and rekindle friendships and to allow people may not be able to make the trip to Washington DC the opportunity to visit and honor loved ones in their home town.

The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment, it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.
